Doesn’t that fund Trump?

Alternative approach: I imported the mails to my new mail hoster and just archived the mbox files just in case. Can be done b< installing a mail client temporarily to upload or some mail hosters provide an option to import from gmail (in my case that was proton)

No, but the founder naively praised Trump for an executive branch nomination he thought would play out in his favor. I don’t think it was a month later when Trump made it obvious he was just going to sell his entire administration to the big powerful tech bros. The Proton founder should have known better and just looked like an idiot, or worse supporter, for praising Trump.

I think the post was very naive but not actually a “I endorse everything what trump does” post. No one can know for sure but alternatives to proton are sparse and I didn’t see anything else like that after.
If I had an e-mail provider I’d be confident staying with for the next few decades, sure. But I don’t feel confident about it and it would just move my problem with old gmail e-mails to the next provider.
And the next provider may not have a “takeout” system. Since Proton has encryption you have to use their client? I remember hearing about Proton bridge to connect to other clients, and it was supposedly clunky.

You don’t have to use their client (this is why I choose them over tuta) they provide a imap bridge (separate program to be installed locally). Works fine for me for the last few years. Just have to use their client on mobile but it works well enough.
